If it were me, I would continue to work on it on my own time regardless of whether or not there is another translation. As long as something is technically superior to a previous translation, it's justification enough.

For what it's worth, the currently released proper translation isn't without its issues.The author couldn't repoint the text pointers enough/at all to make room for the longer script so some minor concessions were made during the text insertion. And the English text is too close to the borders of the speech bubbles in part because of said restrictions. It was still a well-done job.

Regardless of all that, there's no reason not to use your translated script from 2006, or Filler's script if he/she's ok with it, and not let your mostly done work go to waste.

Not sure if it was your intention to come off as a troll, but I'll just say that this is a silly comparison. Last I checked Xenogears doesn't have half the fan base of Spider-Man. Not to mention comics, cartoons, blockbuster movies... Maybe it was a joke?

My feeling is that if you are able to improve upon what's out there, I'm sure it will be well received. Looks great so far.

No, I was just saying that Spider Man is a pretty straightforward brainless beat'em-up kind of comic. You see the villain... he's not gonna say anything other than, "I'm going to take over this city Spiderman, and you can't stop me!" And then you fight. I mean really a Youtube let's play of this game could be executed pretty handily -- and faithfully -- without knowing a lick of Japanese. All you have to know about is the tiny little selection of constantly recurring characters in the comics.

Testing putting in a VWF into another game. This time, Breath of Fire 2. I've improved the routine a bit but need to shrink it down some still. Works a lot more nicely than my first attempt in Sailor Moon SuperS - Fuwa Fuwa Panic.
